Westside High School

"I have a complaint. It's too noisy!! Like a can't even sleep at night because of all that noise! Can your band play softer?"

"Best school in Richmond Co. Excellent teachers & staff!"

"I went to school here in 1997-1999. It's a great school. It was evenly mixed with African American and Caucasians. I came from L.C.L, it's not comparison as far as the academics level."

"Held an elite basketball event there and was overwhelmed by the staff and cleanliness of the gym. Great job!!"

"Did you know that Hulk Hogan went to Westside High School? He went there 1976-1978! His REAL name is Rick Williams! He has a sister Beverly and a brother Larry. He played football under Coach Barnes. He went to A. Brian Merry. He wresteled in the 6th grade on the playground between 2nd and 3rd. But he mostly wresteled at 2nd base in 6th grade. He played football in the 6th grade. He knew Michael Carter, Stanley Elam, and others on the football team. His uniform at A.Brian Merry was purple and gold. His principal at Merry was Jim Turner. His principal at Westside was Mr. Banks. Westside is Westside Patriots. He played football at John M. Tutt Jr. High School. Tutt and Merry are on Boy Scout Rd. in Augusta, Ga. His boyhood home is at 3103 Sussex Rd. It is the 1st yellow house on the left. That IS Hulk's boyhood home!!! It has a driveway that slopes up and a double carport that's open front and back. He lifted weights in the 6th grade. He had that gravely voice at 13 at A. Brian Merry in the 6th grade in 1970. Hulk-A-Mania was born on that playground at A. Brian Merry in 1970! He was born in 1959 and NOT in 1953 as he claims. He sat next to me in the 6th grade at Merry. I was born in 1958. I failed 3rd grade so therefore he COULDN'T be born in 1953 as he claims. He was in the 8th grade at Tutt in 1973. I have a yearbook showing him and Beverly AND me in the 8th grade in 1973. He knew Stanley Willingham and Cy Bannick and Jim Hensley. He had bangs that came down to his eyebrows from elementary to high school. He was well-liked in school all thru the years. At Tutt in the Ninth grade, his football number was 34 (Richard Petty's number was 43). His shirt was black with white numbers. Hulk IS from Augusta, Ga.!!
